The process of making quartz products cut to size and finishing them for installation involves several detailed steps
1.
Material Selection and Quarrying
- Quartz Extraction: Quartz is extracted from quarries and then purified to remove impurities.
- Mixing The purified quartz is ground into a fine powder and mixed with resin, pigments, and other additives to create a consistent mixture.
2.
moulding and curing
- Molding: The quartz mixture is poured into molds of the desired slab size and shape.
- Pressing: The mixture is compacted under high pressure and vibration to remove air pockets and ensure uniformity.
- Curing: The slabs are then cured in an oven at high temperatures to harden the resin and bind the quartz particles together.
3.
cutting
- Initial Cutting: Once cured, the products are removed from the molds and cut to rough dimensions using diamond-tipped saws or water jets.
- Precision Cutting: The products are then cut to the exact size required by the customer using CNC machines or bridge saws for precise and clean cuts.
4.
Polishing and Finishing
- Polishing: The surface of the products is polished using rotating pads with abrasive substances to achieve the desired finish, ranging from matte to high-gloss.
- Edge Profiling: The edges of the products are shaped and smoothed using routers to create various edge profiles, such as bevelled or bullnose
5.
Quality Control and Packaging
- Inspection: Each product undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure there are no defects or imperfections.
- Packaging: The finished products are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transportation to the customer
6.
Installation Preparation
- Customization: Any final customizations, such as cutting holes for sinks or fixtures, are completed.
- Ready for Installation: The products are now ready for installation by the customer or a professional installer.
